Audiobook Review - Lethal by Sandra Brown

When her four-year-old daughter informs her a sick man is in their yard, Honor Gillette rushes out to help him. But that "sick" man turns out to be Lee Coburn, the man accused of murdering seven people the night before. Dangerous, desperate, and armed, he promises Honor that she and her daughter won't be hurt as long as she does everything he asks. She has no choice but to accept him at his word.

But Honor soon discovers that even those close to her can't be trusted. Coburn claims that her beloved late husband possessed something extremely valuable that places Honor and her daughter in grave danger. Coburn is there to retrieve it - at any cost. From FBI offices in Washington, D.C., to a rundown shrimp boat in coastal Louisiana, Coburn and Honor run for their lives from the very people sworn to protect them, and unravel a web of corruption and depravity that threatens not only them, but the fabric of our society.

This book was a pleasant surprise. I was not familiar with Sandra Brown and bought this book only because it was on sale. It turned out to be a rare treat. It's one of those books that hooks you in in the first 15 minutes. I could not put it down! Lots of twists and turns and intrigue to keep you attached to your headphones until the very end.

This was the first time that I experienced the reader, Victor Slezak. He had to portray women, rough men and a 4 year old girl. Very few narrators can do that effectively but he does without making any of his characters sound stupid. If you like a good mystery I think you will like this one.

I Love Auido books when I am sewing or driving.
The right Auido book can make a 1000 mile trip go pretty fast!
I am so lucky that my library system has so many I can check out for up to 3 weeks when I am traveling.

Hi, Vicki: A late comment on this post, but just to let you know that I checked out Audible and it was just what I was looking for. I've never read Sandra Brown before either, altho I know she's a popular author. But I love intrigue and mystery. I ordered Lethal for my first selection and I'm really enjoying it. Also got a device so I can stick my iPod into my cigarette lighter and listen to it through the FM radio. Thank you!!
